I use "not a hotdog" app whenever in need of a hotdog. It's amazingly accurate.
I guess you also live stream using Periscope and not any other service.
It's supposed to be a joke.

#132Microsoft app ' Office Lens ' is the only app I use for screenshots of documents in Android. I see part of the tech is used in this app to take a screenshot also.
Love it
Re: Seeing AI for iOS
#133Yes, YES, this is what I'm talking about Microsoft. I'm surprised how muted the reaction is from HN here. On the technical side, this is a perfect example of how AI can be used effectively, and is a (very obvious in hindsight) application of the cutting edge in scene understanding and HCI. There are quite a few recent and advanced techniques rolled into one product here, and although I haven't tried it out yet it see…
Part of the techniques seem to come from 'office lens' app of Microsoft. It takes pictures of documents and positions them

#134Remember this? http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/05/13/article-2323625-19... when it was a really big deal that Microsoft agreed to help Apple and release some software for their platform?
Re: Seeing AI for iOS
#135I'm pretty blown away by this. I took a picture of myself in the mirror with the scene description feature, and it said "probably a man standing in front of a mirror posing for the camera". I took a picture of the room in front of me and it said "probably a living room". Think I'll be experimenting with this for days.
"probably a man standing in front of a mirror posing for the camera"
I would hope it could get this one right, there's a massive amount of training data to recognize it.

#137US App Store only at this stage it seems. Pity, I'd like to try this. edit: I'm wrong. it's in other stores as well, but not in the Australian app store, which is the one that I tried.
For the launch, its available in USA, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong. And gradually, should be available in more countries. Anirudh from Seeing AI team
I work with a school for the visually impaired in the UK and would definitely like to trial this - also with a team that supports VI children in mainstream schools. Is there any way to get an alert when it appears in the UK appstore?

#138Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's not about just language, of course. Otherwise "localization" would be called "translation". But a machine vision AI app isn't very useful if it cannot recognize local signs, brands, whatever, or pronounce them correctly. It would be simply bad publicity.
You're absolutely right, I dismissed this far too early and didn't think far enough for an app like this. Thanks for clearing that up.
I think that must be the case - it isn't available in the UK :)

#139There was a demo of this on the series Bill Nye Saves The World
